I have a form that I am using on the web.
I need to validate a text field to ensure that it has a value before being submitted (there is a submit button that saves the form and opens up a confirmation page after).
I cannot work out how to do the validation. I am sure it is very simple, but I can’t figure it out! Is anyone able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Subject: Take a look at Designer help file
Specifically there is a page titled: ‘Examples of agents to run before Web users open or save documents’.
The WebQuerySave is one event you could use.
I usually code my button(s) to perform some initial calculations, such as set values to uppercase, trim leading & trailing spaces, etc, then call an agent using @Command([ToolsRunMacro] ; ) ; If the validation fails in the agent, i update a message field o0n the screen, if the agent is successful I open the next page.
Subject: Use Javascript.
Look into onSubmit for the form. Also you could validate the values as people leave the fields in Javascript.
